PROtected Structured PERmal Notes Capital Guaranteed Product linked to the Permal FX, Financials and Futures Fund The Safe Way to Play Hedge Funds PROSPER Notes December 2005

Contents The Premise Permal… a “pioneer” The Structure Contact us

The premise

Facts and Problems Institutional and Retail Clients are attracted to hedge funds by the promise of: Diversification benefits Better and different risk/return profiles from their existing investments But they are put off, to some extent, by these problems: The actual and perceived risks (blow-up, black box, no liquidity) Regulations that discourage direct investments in hedge funds Various tax and administrative issues

The Solution Capital guaranteed products linked to an alternative investment funds have been seen as the answer to these problems They eliminate the risk by offering Noteholders a 100% principal protected vehicle enabling them to benefit from most of the upside of a hedge fund portfolio Capital guaranteed products overcome the regulatory hurdles by optimizing allocation to hedge funds through an unsubordinated EMTN (meeting regulators’ concerns for investor protection)

Characteristics Notes (EMTN) Issued by Royal Bank of Scotland Structured by Merrill Lynch International (also Calculation Agent) Maturity of 5 years, in USD 100% capital guaranteed at maturity Linked to the performance of the Permal FX, Financials and Futures Fund, a fund of alternative investment funds, with emphasis on directional and macro strategy managers CPPI mechanism: 100% initial exposure to the fund on day one (subject to interest rates) Potential leverage up to 200% exposure Multiplier of 5 Coupon payments: on each anniversary year, the Note pays a coupon equal to the positive performance of the CPPI, capped at 6% on that year.

Permal… a “pioneer”

Permal… a “pioneer” A pioneer in the multi-manager hedge fund industry….. One of the pioneers in multi-manager funds since 1973 “Multi-manager funds are all the rage these days. Permal pioneered the concept and is still one of the best at it.” Solid long-term performance $100,000 invested in original fund at its inception in 1973 is worth $16.1 million today (over 5 times the S&P 500) Stable and experienced management team, providing…. Access to highly regarded industry managers Ongoing selection and monitoring process Risk management / dynamic asset allocation Permal FX, Financials and Futures Fund provides access to some of the best CTA and macro trading managers of the industry Hedge Funds Review November 2002 Financial Times June 2003 Forbes, February 2002

Fund’s Main Characteristics Permal… a “pioneer” Permal FX, Financials and Futures at a glance Fund’s Main Characteristics Performance Manager Permal IM Strategy Futures/CTA Country focus None Inception date February 1992 Currency USD Current size >4 billion Redemption frequency Monthly / 20 days* * Notice period YTD performance (09/05) 7.8% p.a. Performance since 01/96 10.6% p.a.

Why Permal? Qualitative rationale The Fund manager benefits from the recognition of the largest institutional clients worldwide. The Fund is investing in some of the best hedge funds, which are often closed. Quantitative rationale The Fund has been consistently performing over the past years, with an annualised return above of 8% almost every calendar year. The volatility of the Fund has consistently been below 6% p.a., thanks to the diversification between managers. The Fund is therefore an optimal candidate for a CPPI-type strategy

The Structure

Protected Permal FX Notes The CPPI Strategy: The PROtected Structured PERmal Notes use a dynamic CPPI (Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance) strategy. The objectives are to: Capture most of the upside in rising markets Preserve the capital in declining markets The Notes are linked to an Index which follows an algorithmic, pre-defined asset allocation mechanism. The Index allocates assets between the Market Asset Units (i.e. the Permal FX Fund) and Reserve Asset Units (Cash). The Cushion is defined as the difference between the Index and the present value of 100% at Maturity. As the Cushion increases… The Index is adjusted so that it consists of more units of the Fund, thus allowing the investor to profit increasingly from the Fund gains. As the Cushion decreases… The Index is adjusted so that it consists of more units of Reserve Assets. This reduces the exposure of the investment to further decreases in the Fund.

Protected Permal FX Notes The CPPI Strategy: The PROtected Structured PERmal Notes provide a 100% Protection with a dynamic allocation process. Fund Rising Higher investment in Fund Time Fund Fund Falling in Cash

Protected Permal FX Notes Back-testing: Using the historical performance of Permal FX during the last 5 years and the current yield curve, the PROtected Structured Permal Notes would have performed by 25.3% at maturity, and would have delivered four coupons of 6% each year (2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004).

Protected Permal FX Notes The PROtected Structured PERmal Notes provide the investor with a dynamic exposure to the Permal FX Fund, with a full capital protection at Maturity. Characteristics: Maturity 5 years Currency USD Protection 100% at Maturity Initial Exposure 100% (indicative, to be determined on strike date) Maximum Exposure 200% Coupon Annual Coupon linked to the performance of the CPPI, cap at 6% Strategy Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance Strategy: If Permal FX performs well, exposure to the Fund is dynamically increased If Permal FX performs badly, exposure to the Fund is dynamically decreased Targets Absolute Returns, that are uncorrelated to equity and bond markets Expected low volatility of the PROtected Structured PERmal Notes, with annual performance- linked coupons (similar to bond investments).
